I think theres an issue here. A big factor. One of us believes he's looking down on rappers. The other isn't. Listen closely to his lyrics and you'll realise he's incredibly humble. OK, not so much with his old stuff but more his recent stuff. I don't think he really has that much of a problem with people wanting to be a mainstream "rapper", the problem is that there are alot less talented people than him, Dizzy, SwizZz, Jared Benton, Rittz etc but are seen to be the cream of the crop because they are in the charts every week. I can understand this. OK, money rules the world and of course he, like evryone, wants lots of it. But he's not that obsessed with it to warrant signing to Sony, Warner or some shit like that. As far as the Illuminati go, theres a lot of misinformation out there, you just have to put the pieces of the puzzle together, join the lines. I've done a hell of alot of research on it and I'm not 100% decided yet but don't dismiss things without dong your own research. But this isn't the place to discuss it.

That being said, I get your feelings on Hopsin, what about SwizZz and Dizzy Wright? They make some righteous tunes.

This one makes me laugh.

And this one, the lyrics are crazy. Funny and thoughtful.

Probably needs to leave the Ruthless thing alone now though, I agree.

They got a new admin and I disagreed with him single handedly judging a battle tournament so he banned me and deleted my acc. Sound eh?

Listening back to Ill Mind 5 (the only song of his I like), it's the ending that gets to me. It's an INSANELY dope song. I posted it here when I first joined after someone said rappers were stupid and someone repped me. Got a feeling it was Budhist. The issue is the "I'm on this planet for you, not just to benifit me" and "If you're blind I can guide you". He's saying HE'S a role model, instead of just spreading positive message. Telling people they should follow your example is arrogance, and that's a trait in itself you wouldn't want to follow. Just brushes me the wrong way when he's doing shit like that.

And yeah he's more talented than the people on the charts, but apparently people just prefer the other shit. I hate chart music but I'm not one of the people to act like they should cater to me because this music gets big BECAUSE people like it.

I have done A LOT of research into that shit. Really interesting to me.

I actually haden't heard of those dudes before. Although, still don't like them now . Sounds a bit too new schoolish to me.

Del The Funky Homosapien should be bigger. Dudes still releasing albums and he's one of the few guys releasing shit that still sounds like it's from the 90s.

I see. So you're an old school dude. I can get down with that. Sorry I mean 'wid dat'.

Know it word for word. Big L is one of my favourites, although sucks he couldnt have made more songs. No Ends No Skinz "If a girl asked me for a ring I'd put one around her whole eye". You don't get lyrics like that in 2013 eh? haha.

Dilated Peoples is a group I've never heard anything bad from, love all of it, but never listen to them.

But for this, I'm going to throw down my ringtone at the moment. AGGRESIVE INLINE SKATING!!!!!!

Thats cool as f*ck man. Not sure about the first dudes voice but the lyrics are cool, the other dudes are cool and that beat is just insane. Typically 90s. The whole genre just had a different feel to it back then. I have to say though, as far as 90s hip hop is concerned. I can't really look past Biggie. Biggie > 2Pac all day. Like 2pac, but NOBODY had the flow that Biggie had.

Quote:

Bitches in the back looking righteous
In a tight dress, i think i might just
Hit her with a little Biggie 101, How to tote a gun
And have fun with Jamaician rum
Conversations, blunts in rotation
My man Big Jacques got the glock in his waist and
we're smoking, drinking, got the hooker thinking
If money smell bad than this nigga Biggie stinking
Is it my charm? I got the hookers eatin out my palm
She grabbed my arm and said "Let's leave calm"
I'm hittin' skins again
Rolled up another blunt, bought a Heineken
Niggaz start to loke out, a kid got choked out
Blows was thrown and a ******* fight broke out

Skimmed through the posts. Can't make any comments on Hopsin cuz I actually never heard of em. But I remember very distinctively about rap rivalry like it was yesterday and it cost us two of the BEST of all time. Fawkin' sad man. Read a book called "Labrinth" delving deeply into Pac and Biggie saga. The whole East Coast and West Coast was a smoke screen. Crazy shiet.

I always wonder how much these guys accomplished by the time they passed; albums, films, fame, phat bank accounts, the fast life. Mo money mo problems for sure.

If you havn't heard this track before, smoke a blunt and put this on repeat. If you have then you know it's a gem cuz it's pretty rare.

RIP Heavy D, Pac, Bigs
